Psalms 70

1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY DAVID. “TO CAUSE TO REMEMBER.” O God, [hurry] to deliver me, O YHWH, hurry to help me.

In finem, Psalmus David, In rememorationem, quod salvum fecerit eum Dominus. Deus in adiutorium meum intende: Domine ad adiuvandum me festina.

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.

Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quærunt animam meam:

3 Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, “Aha, aha.”

Avertantur retrorsum, et erubescant, qui volunt mihi mala: Avertantur statim erubescentes, qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge.

4 Let all those seeking You rejoice and be glad in You, And let those loving Your salvation Continually say, “God is magnified.”

Exultent et lætentur in te omnes qui quærunt te, et dicant semper: Magnificetur Dominus: qui diligunt salutare tuum.

5 And I [am] poor and needy, O God, hurry to me, You [are] my help and my deliverer, O YHWH, do not linger!

Ego vero egenus, et pauper sum: Deus adiuva me. Adiutor meus, et liberator meus es tu: Domine ne moreris.
